Ceramic wick in the vivi nova

[didureboot]

I'm looking into ceramic wick in the vivi nova and my not finding a lot of information. Is this something you can get locally? What's the easiest way to achieve a successful wick creation. Any ideas?

I believe you can use braided ceramic for the Nova. But the porous ceramic that you usually see cannot be use in a Nova, simply because they cant bend.

Can something like that be bought locally? What size would I need and how would it be prepared for use? Forgive my noobish questions, but I am a noob.

Not quite the same but something to keep an eye on.

I dont know about locally, since obviously i dont live in the same area as you. But ceramic wicks are quite hard to come by unless you carve it yourself.

Frankly, i dont see why you would want to put a ceramic wick in a Nova. An ss mesh wick is plenty good. Ceramic is quite luxurious at this point, and should be used in a Genesis style atty to justify the price.

I'm looking into alternates because I'm using a SS wick. I've been reading a lot of bad stuff about the chromium oxide that I'm most likely inhaling and wanted to look at alternatives. So I've been looking at the braided ceramic and can't really find anything in practice with it.

Wow. That's just fascinating.

What would be the advantage of this strange hybrid, exactly? Seems like you'd still have all the problems associated with SS, but with the extra added annoyance of something ultra-breakable to worry about . . . or am I missing something crucial here?

Apparently they vape like a beast and retain the flavor much better.


Here's it in action:

Thanks, Boiler.

It's certainly an interesting idea. Kinda seems wasted on a Vivi Nova, though. I wonder if they'll come out with an upgrade of some sort? Perhaps with a glass tank?

Anyhow, I could definitely see this gadget being very popular with people who don't like to fuss with a lot of rebuilding and so on.

Let me know how this works, I am intrested to see!

I found an older thread on the topic:

[didureboot]

That talks about it. Doesn't say how. I'm interested in the how.

Okay. I just watched the video review - pretty darn convincing.

And just as I was thinking, "Gee, that sounds like something really useful for when you don't want to drag a rebuildable dripper around," the reviewer-guy made the very same point.

So there.

And it's 8 bucks.

Thank you, Mr. Boiler.

I ended up making a cotton(yarn) wick. All it cost was 1.99 for the yarn.

I've used Nextel ceramic strands from woven sheet in a VVN. It worked well, but I moved from any tank system to my VW bottomfed w/ A7 RDA.

i read the draw is kinda tight on these and u need to take a slower draw can anyone verify this?

 

[Petrosino]

Hi there vapor, this might help you, that wick is made by ceramic fiber, there are two sizes here, but maybe you can find an others in some local store close to you. Hope this info is useful good luck

can anyone comfirm how these heads work in the long run? i think china needs to get into this ss m game,and mass produce these puppys

Seems interesting. I just bought a hybrid for big bucks which I am disappointed in because I just cant seem to build a good coil and wick. So its just setting in the other room collecting dust while I still use my vivi nova. If these heads work as good as RBA's seem to with a proper set up then I may just have to pick up a nice VV device and get rid of the mechanical hybrid.
